for my geography lesson i need to know what sustainable urban living is. help
Leaving a smaller footprint, for one. Recycling, using renewable energy sources such as solar water heating and solar PV, using public transportation rather than a car, living in a smaller space, conserving energy in the winter/summer (heat/AC), using farmers marketing for produce and meats.
Princess Diana said she "should never have married into a German family" during her divorce from Prince Charles, her lawyer said in book extracts published by a newspaper on Sunday.
I’ll wager she was often the one standing at the back of the class with a pointy hat (upon which the letter D is clearly visible) on her head. But let us be fair Mr Churchill, she got it partly right. German, Greek/Danish. I would award her 50%, which was a pass when I went to school. But never-the-less, indeed she was, a dill.
They do not know the difference between a continent and a country, I am looking for a basic intro to geography lesson plan or power point that I could use to teach them and some worksheets to go along with it. I am only a student teacher, but this kids need to know their geography.
Thanks,
Andrew

hope to help!!
I am a chemistry teacher helping a student in my school with her geography lesson on Russia. I know Siberia is very sparsely populated but I don’t know anything else. Can you help, or tell me where I can find the information? Thanks.
Have a look at this page. It’s in russian, but there’s a map of population density. The scale is in people per square kilometer. You can see that as you head north and east, the population falls off, with all of the more populous areas of siberia being in the south.
the fact that answers picked yours as best is indicative of a sad lack of knowledge among children today.
the whole region is involved, it is not Afghanistan in isolation.
because he is too uneducated to realize all the implications of the regional conflict there and the tenuous situation with regard to pakistan on its border. this is a regional hot spot with many countries involved.
Me and my friend have an essay (powerpoint) for our geography lesson and we really need some help!!?? please help us!
this an text/maps for each factor at the source site.
What factors affect temperature?
You should be able to explain a variety of factors that affect temperature on a global scale, including:
- latitude (distance from the equator)
- altitude (height)
- continentality (distance from the sea)
- prevailing winds and ocean currents
Okay, I heard about this new theme park in my geography lesson, and heard that it will be twice the size of Walt Disney World Resort. I just have a couple of questions:
1. Do you think this will take a huge amount of business away from Disney World, or do you think people will still be encouraged by that Disney ‘X Factor’?
2. Will this theme park be able to be sustained after the oil runs out? I believe the Disney Parks have been so sucessful, because they have the huge film business behind them for finance.
Just curious on your thoughts.
well
business is business
you must have a competition
if the Disney land failed to improve their company
than maybe their will be a possibility that Disney land will loose tourist attraction or popularity
Please answer quick, my Geography lesson ends at 20 past!
It may become habitable.
I am a student studying to be a teacher and for one of my classes we have to do a short read aloud and short lesson to go along with it. I was thinking of reading a book about maps and teaching the class about the continents. Any ideas? Lesson?
Have you considered using a PowerPoint Presentation as a starter to your lesson plan? If you present a vivid visual image of the continents along with the fundamentals of Maps including the coordinate system and how to find locations on the Earth it could provide a base of knowledge upon which to work with.
Visualization of the topic can be an excellent way to begin a lesson plan as not every student learns in the same way. You could experiment with a reading of the topic followed by a video or a video followed by a reading in order to compliment each other and ‘drive the point’ home.
In elementary school I enjoyed watching movies and looked forward to interactive activities. Reading, on the other hand, requires the student to concentrate or focus upon the reader or book. Third-graders may not be able to compete with a mature group of high-school students seeking higher-academic studies.
In short, keep it simple, interesting and fun. Lose their focus and you lose their interest. If your students are eager to come to your class, they will learn.
As a measure of progress, administer simple exams at the end of the week to test the effectiveness of the plan. Have fun.
In Geography lessons, I learned the earth moved a fraction on it`s axis every year.
Yes it was, John .k .
What I meant was the position of the axis .Dose it move ( yes, I take it ) and would it contribute, to the climate change that have took place of late.?
revovles or revolves , ? Sir ha!
both answers in`teresting, thank you.
I’m going to guess you mean pole wander. This is the slow motion of the pole across the Earth’s surface (or vice versa). The link below shows an illustration of the path of the pole since 1900. The scale is in arcseconds; 1 arcsec = (about) 31 meters. You can see that in 100 years, the mean (average) pole has moved about 15 meters. On top of this, the daily pole moves in a rough circle around the mean pole, with radius of about 15 meters and a period of about 14 months.
I don’t think this is going to change global warming anytime soon. Maybe in 100,000 years, but not now.
